I've enjoyed both of your cooking videos. They seem like a logical extension of your gardening episodes, particularly when they involved unusual foods which your international viewers may not find familiar (like chutney and pickled beetroot). I's obvious you put a lot of thought into your presentation, which is very clear and well-organized.
Thank you. It’s still a new venture for me, filming in the kitchen, so it comes with a lot more planning and consideration. I’m pleased you watched and enjoyed it! 😊
Hi Katrina Loved the vid And I adore the "scrubby carrot " Where can I get one...its brilliant Have a great Christmas and the happiest of New year's Eddy
I always just twist the leaves off, and throw them in the compost. They won't bleed, but you will get some purple staining on your hands. I have a lot of beetroots to lift very soon. I'm still getting over pickling a crazy amount of gherkins. That's with giving fifty of them away to people in the street one week when it was all getting too much, lol. Twelve plants, and three good cropping verities, is way too much for a single person. Thankfully, a lot of people I know prefer them to cucumbers. So I was keeping half the street in gherkins all summer, lol.
Hi Katrina. Great channel it makes me miss my old allotments. I live over in Beeston, Nottm & wondered if you know anyone in the local area in the garden trade that could help me with some garden design please? I only have a smallish back garden that I've developed over 10 years. I've decided to use my large potted tropical plants from my front garden to give the back garden more structure & a better layout. I am struggling to come up with plans & to decide on choice of materials etc. I am happy to pay an experienced gardener for a few days of consultation. Thanks Mike
Ok. Now I'm going to have to grow some beetroot next year and try this. Maybe with carrots and potatoes (my little grandchildren love raw carrots and helping me dig up the spuds!). Might even grow the coriander for the seeds this time.😃 I've just been tossing the seeds onto my wildflower patch. Thanks for inspiration!
I like the hot pack method for pickeling and use this method with recycled jars from goods bought at the store. I have had trouble though, with re using the metal lids. however... I personally like to use either Ball or Knor canning jars, because they can take high temperature, so, I can boil my jars and lids, and then, since I've got the hot water already going, put my finished jars back into boiling water with 1" over top of jar, for 10 minutes. I do pickled eggs like this quite often.
Hiya, recently found your channel and I’m loving it! Feeling so inspired! Can I ask where you got your poly tunnel please? The door is different to others I’ve seen 🌿
Awww thank you! So pleased to hear you’re enjoying my videos 🙂 My polytunnel was from Feel Good UK (strange name I know) and it’s a 2x4m version that I think they discontinued. It’s held up very well over the years!
My grandfather would have loved this!! He loved his beetroot!! Always complained back in the day that there was no tinned sliced beetroot in the shops!! Now there is!! But too make your own is something else!!
Color-coordinated gloves when harvesting the beets. Today I started the final harvest of tomatoes. I got the plants through a short cold snap in October, then we had warm and sunny weather. But now a major cold front will bring below freezing temps for several nights.
I have been making jam for years and just use recycled jars from jam, pickles, olives etc. etc. I sterilise them in the oven from cold and often leave them in for as long as I am making the jam. I fill with hot jam and get a vacuum seal every time without a problem. Also Subeto is the sweetest beetroot variety.
Hey Katrina, Question we have canning jars with lids and bands that screw on. The ones you used look like the ones that come from the store with jelly or jam inside. Do these lids create a vacuum seal when they are water bathed or hot packed? This is new to me. I have not seen them here before. I love pickled beets. Do you ever add a few rings of red onion to the jar? I like the pickled onion they seem to go together. Great video so much fun. Take care bye for now
This was great. My garden wasn't good this year, but I can still buy some organic beets. My brother just recently asked if I like pickled beets, so I'll be making some for him.
I haven't had pickled beets in a long time. When I was young, my grandmother would often make them on Friday nights along with some fish and boiled potatoes.
Watched your video with interest as I am growing beetroot this year with the purpose of pickling my own. Have watched a few videos on pickling beetroot some from allotment holders and your video was the first video in which the beetroot were roasted, the others all boiled theirs, so yours was of added interest, also some added half of individual small peppers to the jar, rather than chillies to the mixture, others added neither. It was interesting that you showed beetroot with a cheese cracker, as this afternoon I had cheese on toast with beetroot and tomato. Placed the beetroot on a slice of buttered toast, sprinkled the grated cheese over the top, then placed tomato slices on top of the cheese, placed it all under grill until the cheese melted. Lovely.
That was a really helpful video, full of useful tips. I make jams and chutney a lot but have only done pickled onions once before. I hope my beetroot is big enough to do this with, it was a bit stunted because of the heat in the summer, need to go have a look! Thanks for this Katrina 🙂
Just opened a jar of this years beetroot ( Detroit Dark Red) grown in a Polycrub in NE Scotland and pickled following your recipe. I wanted to say the taste is superb, Thank you for sharing your recipe - it's the best!!👏
They look awesome, I love pickles beets, my recipe I grated the cooked beets and add jalapeños and they too are awesome, love putting some in my salads. Thanks for sharing your recipe. 👍❤️😊
Thank you so much for such a fantastic tutorial as I've made jars of Apple, Pear and Ginger chutney and Blackcurrant Jam this year but I do find that the jam especially tends to become mouldy. Your helpful advice is a game changer 👍
I have been making jam for years and never had mould. Are your jars clean? Did you sterilise them in the oven? Sterilise the lids in Milton fluid. Only handle the jars with an oven mitt. Put hot jam into hot jars and screw the lids on tight with oven mitts on. That is what I do and I have never had mould.
I really love the labels you used. Could you tell me where you got them from? And thanks for the recipe, my mum loves pickled beetroot so this would make a lovely gift for her next year 😊
Greetings from NZ Katrina. Thanks for this great pickling recipe, and perfect as I don’t fancy doing the water bath bottling. We have beets growing as I write this, so can’t wait to pickle them. I love your videos. 😊
I ferment mine with spices and just filtered water and good salt..no need to sterilize the jars or cook them, plus 1000 better and healthier than pickled beets. I feel it's a waste preserving them like that, fermenting is the way.

Hi Katrina
Loved the vid
And I adore the "scrubby carrot "
Where can I get one...its brilliant
Have a great Christmas and the happiest of New year's
Eddy
The BEET goes on!
Like it!
Very clear and helpful. Thank you.
What a brilliant video, every time I had a question, you answered it! Thank you. Off to get some jars.
I need some cheese and crackers and this homemade beetroot in my life, right now!
1st. Yay! My mum used to pickle beetroot.
I've always done mine in the pressure cooker but roasting sounds great. Will try that too, thanks!
That’s probably a much quicker way of doing it! If only I had room for one 😅
I always just twist the leaves off, and throw them in the compost. They won't bleed, but you will get some purple staining on your hands.

"Excellent" as Mr Burns would say .
Hello 👋
Thanks for your videos I love what you are doing 😉
I was wondering if you have pickled eggs at all ?
nice i love beetroot

I allways boil my beetroot untill it flouts when it will be cook, take it out of water let it cool then the skins just come off very easily
Thank you very much. Yummers

Great tutorial; thank you! I’m going to try this when I harvest my beets. 🙂
from Victoria, BC, Canada 🇨🇦
looks amazing. would you show us how to pickle onions next, if you haven't done so already, please.
This was great. My garden wasn't good this year, but I can still buy some organic beets. My brother just recently asked if I like pickled beets, so I'll be making some for him.

Love pickled beets! I wonder why they're called "beetroot"? You don't say carrotroot, or potatoroot or parsniproot. How did beets get so special?😉
Maybe because unlike potatoes etc you also eat the leaves so beetroot distinguishes from beet leaves.
@@zoewhite7705 Yes, could be that.
Thanks Katrina another brilliant video. I keep a pair of marigold rubber gloves for rubbing off the skins - it works a treat!

That was wonderful. I picked up so many tips to use in my own pickling adventures. Thanks Katrina
Nicely done :) never had the confidence to try stuff like this, maybe one to try.
Thank you Kat! Pickled beets…The Best!!!!
👍
i absolutely love pickled beetroot especially home-made.
Great video 🍁😊🤎

Katrina -That looks absolutely fantastic. I tried your chutney recipe, and this looks just as good. The potato recipe is now one of my staples. Cheers
🥲 As if you followed and make my recipes. Thank you so much. It means so much to me 💚
I really love the labels you used. Could you tell me where you got them from?
And thanks for the recipe, my mum loves pickled beetroot so this would make a lovely gift for her next year 😊
Hey, thanks for watching! I bought those labels from Hobby Craft along with the jars 😊 Happy pickling
I encourage you to do more of these videos
Я люблю свёкла! Спасибо.
That looks delicious 😋
The hardest part is waiting for it to mellow 😩
